PLEASE PRAY FOR GRANDMA C's
(My website is free, if it gets too many hits I have to pay. Please only go there if you are really interested in more information by clicking on the Miracles)
2003 will be a year I won't soon forget. Last year (actually Christmas Eve 2002) I went to care for my Father who had had 3 strokes, cardiac & renal failure. I was up and down all night. I rarely got a break, you just could not leave him. Anyone who has cared for someone who is very ill for a long time, knows the overwhelming fatigue. Then I am not well myself and went into flares with my illness, Myastenia Gravis & Adult onset Stills Disease. When my father died July 17th, I stayed and helped my Mom to get situated for a couple of weeks. Then when I came home my 13 year old grandson had major open heart surgery (3 weeks after my Dad's death). By the time I was done, I was completely exhausted and sick. I had an overwhelming need to be cared for myself. But I couldn't turn to my daughter, she was caring for her son. I had no money, so I just tried to made do and tried to get well. Yet I think that was the seed for this vision or project.
In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.". But it isn't always possible to get that rest. For awhile I have been considering taking people into my own home. The overall purpose of this would be a place for believers to come for restbit and to recoup. A place where they can be ministered too instead of having to minister. A place where they don't have to worry about if they can afford it or not, or spending money they don't have. They could take a weekend or a month if needed. Then hopefully they can return to their ministries refreshed and revitalized. I have not been able to shake this and am wondering if this is the Lords Will for me to do this. But there are these 3 things that need to happen before it can come to be.
- In the home I have, it is only 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and the community has a limit of 2 weeks on guest. So I cannot do it here. So I have to sell my home. Thus Miracle #1 is the first step of the Lord showing me this is what he wants. When I was trying to paint, I sat down and cried out to Him I can't do this, it is physically impossible with my arm weakness and my leg weakness. So He sent me two ladies from church who selflessly worked so hard to complete this, and one of the ladies husband worked with her to move my furniture + another neighbor also has helped me tirelessly in what needed to be done. Then my Pastor came over and washed down my siding. This was very encouraging that maybe I am on the right path. So I ask you to please pray for Miracle #1 to sell,
- I am in debt. I can hardly care for myself financially, more or less guest who are visiting me. So I must become debt free. Thus Miracle #2. So after my place sells, I will move into a cheap room somewhere near my daughter, to finish paying off the debt. Now it is possible the Lord will handle this in another way - I will just have to wait and see. I CAN'T accept donations because it would be subtracted from my long term disability. Please pray I have the discipline to become debt free, and I can stay out of a flair with my health for Miracle #2. I had not had a flair in 3 years because I rested a lot before my Dad's illness. So I will have to be disciplined to rest also. Then when this occurs I will go on to the next miracle.
- This is the biggest Miracle of all. I am on a limited income, I cannot afford huge house payment. So I really cannot imagine how the Lord will work this one out. I would need at least 4 or 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 - 3 bathrooms. Then a home in a park like setting, which up here in Northern Idaho, is not that hard to accomplish. It would probably need to be in the Post Falls, Hayden, Twin Lakes or Rathdrum area, since I take my grandchildren to school. So this is entirely the Lord's Miracle (of course aren't they all). I don't even know what I can do to make it happen. Please pray that if it be the Lords Will he will show me the way and I will listen for Miracle #3. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26 - "For man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
It can only be accomplished by the Grace of God and Prayer. Please join me in praying for this project, for me to stay humble and be obedient and to serve others. Bookmark this and I will update as these Miracles are achieved.
Philippians 2:3 - 8
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
4 Each of you should look not only to your own interest but also to the interests of others.
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on the cross!
